On the surface, Flying Together seemed like a pure love cultivation art. But in reality, it was far from simple. As Kael had said, when men and women cultivated it, the woman would gradually become dependent on the man. Remember—this was dependence, not love. There was a clear difference. Love came from the heart, but dependence was merely physical craving. It was not love, and the difference was vast.
Simply put, though the woman in dual cultivation might not love the man, her body could no longer leave him. Thus, practitioners of this art often used it to toy with women. Some even seduced other people's partners, then used the art to make them dependent. So these women still loved their partners, but physically could not leave the practitioner. This was no pure love art. It was clearly a cuckold demon art.
Therefore, those who cultivated it were despised. Once discovered, they were hunted. But in this crossover world, Kael didn't care. No one but him knew the true nature of Flying Together.
Lady Yukinoshita trembled with anger when she heard Kael wanted to use her for cultivation. She had never met someone so rude. If not for her family's need for his help, she would have ordered him out.
Kael knew his words had angered her, so he tried to soothe her: "I know you're upset, Lady Yukinoshita. But dual cultivation benefits both of us.
You said yourself you're no longer young. If you cultivate with me, rejuvenation is possible. You could even look younger than your daughter. Your physical strength would increase, rivaling fighters—perhaps even surpassing them. Your lifespan would extend—living to a hundred easily, perhaps even two hundred. Most importantly, even after centuries, your appearance would remain youthful, even more so than now."
At first, Lady Yukinoshita dismissed his words. But gradually, she was tempted. Rejuvenation, eternal youth, longevity—such promises were irresistible to any woman. Many would do anything for eternal youth. She considered herself above such desires, but she had dreamed of them.
Still, Kael's words were unproven. So she would not believe him.
After a pause, she said: "If you want to practice dual cultivation, Renjou-kun, I know of an opportunity. It could let you meet many women. Perhaps among them are those as good as me—or even better."
Kael was surprised. "Oh? Such an opportunity? Tell me."
Lady Yukinoshita said: "Have you heard of Seika Women's Private Academy?"
Huh? Kael raised a brow. The name sounded familiar. "Lady Yukinoshita, tell me about this academy."
She nodded. "Of course. Seika Women's Private Academy is one of the nation's top aristocratic schools for girls.
To outsiders, it is perfect and prestigious. But only insiders know of a special system. The students are all wealthy or noble, so the school forbids them from freely associating with men. But this rule often leaves graduates vulnerable to men's sweet words. So the school hires a trusted man to provide certain necessary education."
Kael finally understood. Though Lady Yukinoshita spoke delicately, he remembered—this was the academy from a certain adult anime. Its special system was the "male O system." The school secretly hired men to help students with their desires.
Kael already knew this crossover world wasn't entirely proper. It mixed serious anime with adult ones. So the academy's existence only mildly surprised him. By now, even if "Taimanin" appeared, he wouldn't be shocked.
"I think I know what you mean." Kael stroked his chin. "As far as I know, only insiders know of this system.
I'm curious—how do you know? Were you once a student there?"
Lady Yukinoshita fell silent. Kael's eyes lit up. "So I guessed right." She had graduated from Seika Women's Private Academy. No wonder she knew. Perhaps she had even been a participant.
Seeing his look, she quickly denied: "I know of the system, but I never joined it. At St. Hua, ninety-nine percent of girls never touch it. Only a few, out of curiosity or other reasons, experience it."
Kael believed her. The academy had hundreds of students, yet the story only featured a handful. Each had their own reasons. So her words were credible.
Kael's eyes gleamed. "So, Lady Yukinoshita, you plan to recommend me to the school?"
She nodded. "If you don't object, Renjou-kun…"
